  • Campaign Notebook Article Continued Below
    http://mankatofreepress.mn.newsmemory.com/eebrowser/frame/check.7... By Mark Fischenich [email protected] MANKATO — Democratic Congressman Tim Walz has a middle- of-the-pack reliance on political action committees when raising reelection funds, according to reports recently filed with the Federal Elections Commission. Walz is generating 60.2 percent of his campaign contributions from individuals, with most of the other 40 percent coming from PACs, which typically use contributions to try to tilt the balance of power in Congress in favor of their special interests. Looking at Minnesota’s eightmember House delegation, Walz and Republican Congressman Erik Paulsen (61.8 percent from individuals) are in the middle. Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann is the champion of generating individual donations, particularly from supporters who live outside of Minnesota. Bachmann has gotten 98.6 percent of her contributions from individuals this election cycle and her $8 million from individuals easily surpasses the individual contributions of the other seven combined. Rep. Keith Ellison, a Minneapolis Democrat who is on the opposite end of the delegation’s political spectrum, is second. Ellison has received 82.7 percent of his contributions from individual donors rather than PACs. Democratic Rep. Collin Peterson relies most heavily on PACs among the Minnesotans with just 21.9 percent of his money coming from individuals. Here’s the rest: Republican Chip Cravaack (66.8 percent from individuals), Democratic Rep. Betty McCollum (56.5 percent) and Republican Rep. John Kline (56.2 percent). Walz generated 71.9 percent of his contributions from individuals in his first run for office in 2006 and was at 61.6 percent in 2008 and 63 percent in 2010.
